In his words:
“Being faithful is hard because if you’re in the kind of line of work that we are in, it’s very hard because everyone of us that is married, we are the target. I mean look at how women are, how can you escape it? Women are like Delilah, they are like Jezebel! They prepare. And the only way you can perpetuate the real intentions of the enemy is to constantly aim at the image of God or the symbol of authority in any home, you shoot it down, it’s like being a general, a commander in a battlefield, you drop him and the battalion scatters.”
Your wife has to understand - RMD
Still speaking on married men cheating, RMD reiterated that it is difficult to stay faithful.
The film star said it would get to a point that the wife has to be made aware of what she is up against.
He said:
“It’s very difficult, you have to get to a point where your wife understands what she’s up against as well because if your wife is not up to speed on what she’s up against, then your flanks would be left open."
RMD explained that a woman who is aware of the challenges her man is facing will protect her man. He added that even if such a man falls sometimes, she will help to pick him up.
“She will protect her man, he will fall sometimes and fall really bad but she has to be able to help to pick the man up”, he said.
RMD then went ahead to speak on modern women who might not be willing to forgive their men when they fall.
He said such women do not understand the roles they have to play and they are not grounded.
The actor also noted that it’s important for a man to be remorseful because the wife will be able to see that he is taking responsibility.

Reactions as RMD explains how being faithful in marriage is hard
Richard Mofe-Damijo’s explanation on how it’s hard to stay faithful to one’s wife as someone in the entertainment industry caused a huge buzz on social media.
While a number of men agreed with him, some women pointed out that wives also face temptations and being disciplined is a choice.
Read some of their comments below:
motola.o:
“And it’s married women too that do not face temptation.. Lol men sha .. They will give every excuse under the book. Just be a disciplined person man or woman! Shikena!”
the_vendorbrown:
“Even we married women get asked out alot, one even told me married women are sweeter to date, above all, make sure you have self control.”
omoge_jazzy:
“There is no Delilah or Jezebel without the men that gave them power.”
hola.bissy:
“This is such a negative narrative to put out there. Referring to women as Delilah & Jezebel who target married men is such a reckless & thoughtless statement. Stop blaming women for your lack of discipline & restraint. Cheaters (men or women) will cheat.”
thefoodnetworknig2:
“No lies detected sir especially if you’re an entertainer… They come very prepared ready to devour! Only strong discipline & fear of God won’t make you fall! How they desire men who they know are already taken is what baffles me, single man will be there, they don’t want, it’s that happily married man they use all their energy to show green light! Obirin .”
callmiifexco:
“On a serious note, to be a faithful man is not hard. Truth be told!! To be a faithful husband will safe you money, strength, peace of mind. Troubles and sanity. You’ll get home tired and throw your phones on the table and sleep so well without worrying about your wife going through them. This is coming from RMD so y’all will agree with him and bash me on this. No !!”
therealsophiamba:
“They want to turn this conversation to battle of the genders. He is sharing his perspective as a man and you’re saying men are not disciplined. Are women disciplined? It’s not a gender thing. When will you guys get it? Both men and women have serious issues. They both lie, cheat, steal and do all sorts of terrible things. Everybody should face their front and fix themselves. Oh wait, only Jesus fixes.”
alarapesaheed:
“These words from Pops RMD are deep, witty, reflective, intriguing and inspiring! Twale ❤️.”

“Absolutely Brilliant ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Two Legends in a Diamond Ring!! If you know, you know.”

I agree with RMD - Nigerian lady speaks
A Nigerian lady, Blessing Olayemi, spoke with Legit.ng on RMD's controversial statement. She revealed that she agreed with his words.
According to the businesswoman, cheating does not start in a day and marriage is about check and balance so husband and wife need to help control the situation.
In her words:
"I think in marriage there should be check and balance among couples to always keep them on their toes because we all know cheating doesn’t start a day, it starts from fleeting and exchanging conversations so if any of the party notices this on time they should be able to control the situation...so for me I agree with RMD."
